Dare to cast forge of ancients, burden of time, utterdark and astral corruption will put you on no.1 most hated list. This will usually result in alot of people ganging up on you to dispel the global and generally slaughter your nation.

Of course in a 62 player game the chances of keeping a global up are alot lower, so globals might not be a good strategy until over half have been knocked out.

Yeah, I'm kinda curious with this mega game to see if there will be a level of gem pooling to get certain globals up. Nobody in this game is going to cast Burden of Time without using a ridiculous amount of death gems...but it'll benefit a certain set of nations regardless of who casts it so it'd make sense to poll for donations just like is usually done for a dispel. Same goes for Utterdark, Astral Corruption, and many others. My guess is the non-threatening spells won't stay up long, not because they're dispelled, but because the five global slots are going to be fought over by large power blocks for globals that benefit more than one nation.
